About this site

travelbrowsequartz.com is an independent guide to planning and packing for trips, with checklists for common trip types and a four-step way to build your own list.

What the site covers

The homepage has packing lists for six common kinds of trip (weekend city breaks, beach holidays, business travel, ski and snow, hiking and family trips) and four steps for writing a list that matches your own plans.

We also explain how packing-list apps draft a list from your destination, dates and forecast, so you can decide whether an app or a simple notes file suits you better. The steps are the same either way.

Who it is for

The guides are for anyone who has packed too much or left a charger at home. They are written for occasional travellers as much as frequent ones and assume no special gear.

How guides are researched and kept current

  1. Official sources for rules

    Rules that change, such as liquid limits or cabin-bag sizes, are checked against airline and airport security pages.

  2. Short, practical lists

    Each checklist sticks to items that get used on that kind of trip and leaves out things that usually come home untouched.

  3. Plain wording

    We describe what to check and why, and we say so when a rule depends on your airline, fare or departure airport.

  4. Reviewed regularly

    Pages are re-read when travel rules change. The date at the top of each page shows the last review.
